finally after all that running around I got a date. Im scheduled for January 20th, 2014 with Dr Koshy at St Lukes Hospital. Thats in NY. I was expecting a sooner date but he will be on vacation on December.

I am so glad to finally have my date. what about you guys? anyone else has a date for January?

Share it!

I got my date! January 14th with my pre-op December 20th. Holy cow! My only concern is that I have gained weight since i last saw him. I pray the doctor doesn't reschedule me!

I know it's a longshot, but are there any other nursing mommies? I am still nursing my 17 month old and am hoping to continue to do so after surgery.

shungsleeve and AnnieLytical - I just contacted Janese and hoping they have an opening for the 8th or 9th. My husband works offshore and we have 3 daughters . . . hoping I can work it out so he can be at home with the girls and my mom will come out with me. I added you both as a friend - finers crossed. . . hope all goes well!!

Hello everyone I had my last appointment with the Nut today. And I have a tentative date for January 30 at Loyola University in Maywood ill. I hope to get my approval soon.

I hope it works out for you. My husband is staying back with my daughter. That's why I'm going by myself.

I think I'm going to schedule Jan 10th! It's what will work best for us... Maybe I can meet y'all when I get in town?

Yes please! I'm also traveling alone and will welcome the company! I arrive on the 7th, surgery the 8th and leave on the 12th.

Well fingers crossed. (Im still waiting on insurance which kicks in, in January) that my date will be the 13th of jan. I have pretty much everything done just need my psych and classes besides the ekg scope and such. I already have had the class before and have seen a psych before too. But that was last year. Im hoping and praying that this year will be the winner. Just wish my friend could have it done the same day :-(

Got an approval today!! Waiting on surgery date...hopefully soon!!
